    Generally it is due to women valuing their life more than men. A woman gets to about thirty and wonders why she is spending so much time in the office. Men are more competitive and will work much longer hours and strive to progress while the women think "fuck that" and settle for easier life with more happy time.

    Yes, birth is 12 weeks. That is just the start though. Throughout the child's life there will be many more events that require time off. A woman who has had a child is also going to have more medical issues. Child carer will not take the child if it is sick as it will infect other children.

    If you look at it objectively the men are unfairly discriminated against as it would totally destroy a man's career if he took as much time off. I can speak from some experience as I was a male single parent but I went into teaching at that point as it was the only way to remain working and get the support I needed. If I had stayed in the private sector I would quite simply have been sacked.

    It does not matter how they feel, what matters is their career. If you break from your client group your career progress stops. That is a fact of life. It is plain stupid to think it is discrimination, it is your choice.

  7. Fallacy on Why Do Airlines Overbook? (bbc.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "Empty seats cost airlines money" not if those seats are already paid for. This total BS. If the seat is paid for then less weight saves them money. Overbooking is pure greed. They know the average percentage of people who will miss the flight and they overbook to make more money but sometimes the people do not miss the flight and they do not have enough seats. It is pure greed and lies. If I have paid for a seat it should not be theirs to sell again as what they normally do is just get more strict about the check in time to reject people if they are going to have a problem. You arrive at check in a minute late (I was rejected 3 minutes late once) and they get hard arsed because they already have someone sitting in your seat. They have sold it and made money from something they had already sold to you.

    You start your post with a stream of childish abuse yet call me the troll. You then go on to quote Wikipedia who also publish several other stories of the same incident with different views. You are a troll no matter what you say about me. Your post is almost completely ad hominem so there is little point replying. There is a lot of evidence from objective, intelligent sources like Seymour Hersh or Denis O’Brien that raise plenty of questions but to attempt to enter into dialogue with delusional troll would be pointless. To be honest, I envy your ignorance. It must be relaxing to be so oblivious.

    Are you really stupid or do you just make illogical comments to provoke an argument? That is called being a troll. There is no documented evidence of Assad using chemical weapons. You may believe Fox news but that is just stupid. In 2013 the MSM made a song and dance about chemical weapons but on investigation it turned out to be Al Nusra that had made the attack, the people that Assad was attacking this time. It is beyond stupid to think that there is a reason to believe that it was Assad this time. He has no record of having used chemical weapons but the US terrorists do have.

    I like the way they blame the unknown entity "hackers" rather than accept responsibility for their own lax security. First and foremost it is their fault for running an open system. The hackers should be sought but first and foremost the problem is lax security.

    Are you actually replying to my comment? The comment was tongue in cheek but I accept that humour may be above your intellect. That said of course I am not as stupid as you and I know that there is no reason yet to believe that Assad caused this but regardless your reply is illogical. If he did flagrantly use WMDs then that would still be non of your business without the backing of the UN but until there is a reason to believe he did then most of the world are unlikely to be stupid enough to see a reason. This is war just for the sake of war. I realise that this may seem difficult but have you ever heard of due process?

    "experts from the US, Britain, Israel, Turkey" You have got to be having a laugh! The Russians say that it was a terrorist ammo dump that was hit. It is of course equally possible that the terrorists did it to get the response it got. There are lots of past accusations regarding Assad just as there were lots of accusations about Saddam Hussein and Col. Qaddafi. It does not mean that the evidence is even remotely plausible but you can guarantee that those you listed will recite it even long after it is totally discredited. There is plenty of evidence of the US fabricating such evidence so the evidence is discredited by its own logic. Here we have evidence which is as believable as the nurse saying that Iraqi soldiers took babies out of their incubators and Iraq had WMDs i.e. not believable.

    Not a troll at all. Just pointing out the blindingly obvious. There is absolutely no reason to believe that Assad had anything to do with this. There are many options most far more plausible but you get back to your Fox news and keep on calling anyone who disagrees with you a troll.

    It is a very real question. There are many options and Assad using chemical weapons is the least plausible. It may suit the US propaganda but it is not logical and those on the ground believe it was an ammo dump that had been targeted that exploded, as they do when bombed. It could just as easily by any of the various terrorist groups who wish to elicit this sort of stupid reaction from the US. It could also have been Turkey given how close they are and how much they wish this war to get worse so they can invade the Kurdish lands. There are far too many options and the most stupid thing that could have been done was to react without any reason to know what had happened. The Syrian people will now rally round Assad and although it is not possible for him to become more popular he will retain the undivided love of the Syrian people.

    Appropriate and measured response to being accused of the nerve gassing of innocent civilians without any evidence two days ago. There, fixed that for you. You do realise that there is absolutely no reason to believe that Assad had anything to do with this, in fact there is plenty of reason to believe that he did not but then to accept the long list of other possibilities would not get the US into yet another pointless war and we have got to have someone to kill for no reason.

The EU is already considering ending the visa waiver agreement as the US is not abiding by it.

    There is an average difference in brain size that is directly related to the simple fact that men are, on average, larger than women. Therefore they have larger brains.

  25. It does seem that the obvious concept that the majority of women do not want such jobs is constantly overlooked. Forcing children to do things they are not interested in will not magically make them interested. Why should women be expected to move into these careers? Why are women not allowed the equal freedoms that men have to choose their own career path?
